Elliotsville Foundation (EFI) supports conservation, rural communities, and Indigenous partnerships across northern Maine.

During the $31M A Monumental Welcome capital campaign, EFI was entering a new phase of public visibility alongside national attention and significant conservation milestones.

We were brought in to help establish a clear, credible digital presence that could communicate EFI’s mission, values, and collaborative approach while supporting donors, partners, and the public.

A Scalable Foundation

Working closely with Elliotsville Foundation leadership and collaborators, we designed communications systems grounded in clarity, credibility, and care. The work balanced public storytelling with respect for governance, relationships, and cultural protocols.

A scalable digital foundation was established through EFI’s first public-facing website, supported by close collaboration with advisory boards and partners on values-aligned messaging.

Participation in ICIP training and workshops informed the approach, ensuring that communications reflected best practices while supporting long-term capacity building for EFI and its partners.

Supporting Partner Organizations

The EFI website established a strong digital foundation, articulating the foundation’s mission, conservation investments, and collaborative approach. Additional platforms supported education, visibility, and growth for partner organizations connected to the campaign.
